Biography
Manolis Primos was born on Cephalonia in 464 BC, and he was once in a position of wealth. However, during the 430s BC, he lost much of his wealth due to his daily tributes to the shrine of Hermes in the Drogarati Cave, and he came to believe that the gods lived in the cave, and that they were mad at him. In 431 BC, the mercenary Kassandra decided to investigate the cave, and she discovered that the bandit leader Ismene the Plunderer and her gang were stealing the pilgrims' tributes. Kassandra killed Ismene and her gang and stole their loot, and she returned to Manolis, telling her that the "gods" were actually thieves; Manolis hoped that Zeus would bring his wrath on the bandis, but Kassandra revealed that she had dealt with them.
